Building an online business like most challenges has a lot to do with your SEO tools. Getting your motivation, frames of reference and expectations right will have more of an impact on your success than simply following perfect SEO “rules”.

Alternatives to iWriter

Alternatives to iWriter

iWriter is a popular content writing service Using this freelance platform, iWriter advertises premium writing skill and service for rock-bottom prices. However, as is the case with many service offerings of this nature, some have found it too good to be true. In this article, we’ll examine whether it lives up to these lofty claims, and also give you several iWriter alternatives to consider.

What is iWriter?

iWriter

iWriter, at first glance, is your standard content writing service. They work with thousands of writers to mass-produce written content pieces, and offer their service at very competitive prices. iWriter allows clients to purchase different ”tiers” of website content, depending on how much work, research, and SEO optimization they require. That being said, even at the ”Elite Plus” tier, iWriter’s prices are very low. The most you can spend for 1000 words of content is $72.

Of course, working backwards, lower priced content means lower paid writers. Therefore, it’s not reasonable to expect that iWriter’s writer base is comparable to what you’d expect from a more expensive service. That’s not to say that you can’t find talented writers on the platform, just that top quality writers know their worth. All this being said, if you’re looking for a more reliable content writing service, let’s check out some alternatives:

Alternatives to iWriter

UpWork

upwork

UpWork is less of a content writing service and more of a ”freelance marketplace.” On UpWork, freelancers of any kind can create a profile, advertising their services to the world. Freelancers list their experience, list their expertise, and set their own prices. Clients can review their work, so the most talented freelancers rise to the top. As a client, you submit a proposal, and freelancers can contact you about the work (or vice versa). If you’re willing to put the time into building relationships on UpWork, there is fantastic content writing to be found. Just be sure to clearly outline your content goals in your proposal to increase your chances of finding the best match.

Compose.ly

compose

Compose.ly is quite similar in principle to iWriter. The main difference is in quality. iWriter carefully vets its writers, claiming to accept less than 1% of those who apply. iWriter also pays its writers much higher rates, which also means their service is quite a bit more expensive. But the level of quality tends to be much more reliable as well. Basically, you can expect high quality content from Compose.ly, but you can also expect to pay more for it.

Compose.ly also offers basic SEO optimization for their writing services. Compose.ly performs keyword research, and optimizes content to help it rank on Google. Compose.ly positions themselves as a premium content writing service, and we’ve found that they uphold this reputation. They are more expensive than iWriter, but the difference is noticeable.

Verblio

verblio

Verblio has a rather unique setup in managing proposals and assignments. As a client, you submit proposals to have content written. You have a chance to outline your brand voice, content goals, and content outlines. From there, the proposal is uploaded to a writer portal, where Verblio’s pre-vetted team of writers can access the work, and write the content if it matches their expertise. Essentially, multiple writers can “compete” for your proposal.

Once the work is completed, you are free to review it, and you can accept the content that you like best. As long as you are willing to put in the effort to review the work yourself, you are likely to find something you are happy with. Verblio is priced competitively, and their writing team is competent. If their unique business model sounds good to you, then give them a shot.

Content Fly

contentfly

Content Fly is a new company, but they’ve developed a solid reputation. Similar to Compose.ly, Content Fly invests their efforts into hiring top writers, claiming to accept less than 1% of those who apply. Also similar to Compose.ly, they charge more than their competitors for content. In other words, you can expect quality content from Content Fly. Content Fly offers a streamlined platform. It only takes a few minutes to join and submit a proposal. Proposals can be as detailed or basic as you want, but we recommend you clearly lay out your goals so you’re happy with the work you receive. Once a proposal is submitted, you can expect your work within a few days.

Content Refined

Content Refined

Content Refined takes a bit more of a personal approach to content writing. From the outset, you’ll be paired with a project manager, who will work with you to outline your content goals, brand voice, and so on. From there, they’ll work with you to create a custom content plan, which includes SEO tactics to help content rank. From there, they’ll pass on the work to one of their pre-vetted writers, and the work will be completed according to the deadline. Content Refined works with a diverse group of writers, who have expertise on many different subjects and topics. If you’re looking for a more personalized approach, check them out!

The Bottom Line – Pick The Service Best For You

In this article, we’ve given you a wealth of options to choose from for your content writing needs. The best choice is just the choice that best matches your needs. Before you consider any content writing service, you need to consider what you are looking to achieve with your content. Examine your business, examine your goals, and decide how content will help you meet those goals. This way, you’ll be able to work with a content provider to create a proposal to help your business succeed.

There are many quality options above, but it will be difficult to be satisfied with any option if you don’t know what you’re looking for. We hope you’ve found our list helpful. We know it can be difficult to sift through the crowded content marketing space. Good luck in your next content endeavor!

Gather Content vs. Contentful

Gather Content vs Contentful

In this article, we’re comparing two popular content marketing platforms – Gather Content and Contentful. If you aren’t familiar with these platforms, they both share the goal of helping a business manage, create, and optimize their content marketing. We’ll be examining each digital platform, their content model, and letting you know which is best for your digital content business.

Gather Content

gathercontent

Gather Content is, as they put it, a “content operations platform.” Essentially, it’s a comprehensive digital platform designed to help businesses manage, plan, and implement a content marketing campaign and strategy. If that all sounds a little vague and open-ended, it is, but only because Gather Content has such a wide array of features and content creation capabilities.

At the heart of the platform is the Content Hub. The centre of content operations, the Hub allows you to organize content across your entire organization. Anyone can access new, planned, or ongoing projects. Administrators can choose which team-members can access which content, and can assign work to different teams. The Hub also allows you to track processes, identify bottlenecks, search content, develop a content strategy, and more. It’s a comprehensive organization tool for planning tasks that can usually become overwhelming.

But the Content Hub is far from all that’s on offer with Gather Content. It also has dedicated tools for predicting, planning, and creating content. The Content Planning tool helps teams see which content they are responsible for, and they can use Gather Content’s templates and style guides to complete the work. At its core, Gather Content is a good organizational tool and content management system. With modern businesses and marketing departments requiring such an enormous amount of structured content, it’s helpful to have a platform that connects everyone, and keeps all workflows organized and on-track. But as with any platform, you have to give your team time to learn its ins and outs.

Pricing

Pricing for Gather Content is done on a subscription basis. You can choose to pay monthly or annually, with some added bonuses for an annual plan. There are 3 basic plans available for Gather Content, that scale up based on the number of concurrent projects, rather than the number of users. Gather Content’s “Start” plan allows for 3 concurrent projects for $99/month, the “Scale” plan allows for 15 concurrent projects for $299/month, and the “Transform” plan allows for 60 concurrent projects for $799/month. There are also other caveats that you can find here. Gather Content also offers plans for larger organizations, but you’ll need to book an individual consultation.

Contentful

contentful

Contentful operates within the same space as Gather Content, offering a comprehensive platform for managing content. According to Contentful, their content platform “aggregates, structures, and delivers content across an organization’s digital footprint.

At the core of Contentful’s service offering is the Content Platform. The content platform provides a central hub for creating, planning, and managing content. Team members have access to the central hub, where there are extensive tools to organize content workflow. The Content Hub brings together team-members to seamlessly create content. Designers, creators, editors, and marketers all have access, and work simultaneously with developers and publishers to share content across all the organizations’ channels and mediums.

Pricing

Perhaps where Contentful differs most from Gather Content is their pricing structure. Rather than paying per concurrent project, you pay for the amount of people on the platform. The pricing is a little convoluted, but we expect that’s by design. The only advertised price is for the “Team” tier, which starts at $489/month. Bigger organizations will have to book a consultation with Contentful.

Which is For You?

At the end of the day, Contentful and Gather Content are very similar content platforms. Both are geared toward helping an organization create, manage, plan, and share content. Both are meant as organizational tools, rather than tools for creating content. Your decision may come down to which platform your organization likes best, or which platform offers your organization the best deal! Do note that both platforms are extensive, and require real buy-in from members across your organization. The platforms are only as effective as the commitment they receive from your team. If everyone works together to create and share, you’ll be much happier with the results. This also means that you’ll need to dedicate time and resources toward training & onboarding team-members onto the platform.

Conclusion

Thanks for checking out our head-to-head comparison of Gather Content and Contentful, two content management softwares that we like for different reasons. Once again, these are platforms for managing content, not creating it. If your organization is looking for help creating high-quality content to share, consider Content Refined.

Content

Scripted vs. Contently

Scripted vs Contently

In this article, we’re comparing two of the top players in the content marketing space – Scripted and Contently. Both are successful content marketing platforms, but there are large differences between their service offerings. We’ll be offering a quick analysis of both, and letting you know how to decide which is right for you.

Scripted

scripted

The Platform

Scripted is a content writing service with a rather straightforward business model. Clients sign up for Scripted, describe their business goals and content writing needs, and the work is assigned to an experienced content writer, who completes the work in a matter of days. Scripted specializes in a wide range of content types, including blog posts, social media, web content, press releases, and much more. Scripted boasts “SEO friendly” content, although its SEO practices are somewhat minimal, and seem to be limited to keyword optimization. Services like Content Refined have stronger SEO tools.

The Writers

Scripted prides itself in hiring top-quality writers. In fact, under 2% of writers who apply are approved. The writers have expertise in a number of different areas, and Scripted’s SmartMatch technology ensures that the work is assigned to the proper writer. Scripted is well-known in the writing community for paying its writers well, which allows them to retain top talent. A content writing service is only as strong as its writers (although that’s far from the only factor), and Scripted has a quality team.

The Cost

As far as content writing services go, Scripted is on the higher end, but by no means exorbitantly priced. Scripted operates on a subscription basis, with clients required to commit to an annual subscription after the first month. The “Premium” plan is their most popular, and offers clients 5-10 monthly content pieces for $349/month. Clients can purchase additional content credits at any time for extra content.

Pros

  • Experienced team of writers – less than 2% who apply are accepted.
  • Straightforward and streamlined content creation process.
  • Reasonable prices.

Cons

  • Requires yearly commitment.
  • SEO tools are somewhat lacking.

Contently

contently

The Platform

Contently is less of a straight-forward content marketing service, and more of a comprehensive content marketing platform. As opposed to purchasing work, clients pay a subscription fee for access to the Contently platform, which offers them a comprehensive tool for organizing and creating content marketing materials.

Due to its complexity, it’s difficult to sum up Contently’s service in a few paragraphs, but we’ll give it a shot.

Essentially, after paying their subscription, clients gain access to Contently’s “Intelligent Content Marketing Platform.” This platform contains a multitude of tools to help create content marketing ideas which align with the business goals and target audience. From there, it connects the business with a freelance professional (vetted by Contently) who has the expertise to create the content. From there, Contently uses AI software to optimize the content for SEO. Once the content is eventually published, Contently’s analytics tools let users monitor the content’s success, so they can improve results over time. Sounds complicated? Well, it is rather complicated, but users aren’t expected to learn the platform all at once. Contently’s platform contains tutorials, and there’s also a customer support team to help navigate the beginning stages. And once you get the hang of the platform, you’ll probably be happy that there are so many options at your disposal.

The Freelancers

Contently, like Scripted, prides itself in hiring top-quality freelancers. However, Contently is more than just content writers. Contently also works with a network of videographers, illustrators, editors, and more. There is freedom to create much more than just content writing, and you can deck out your content with as much visual flair as you see fit. Unlike Scripted, you’ll actually get direct access to these creatives, allowing you to build a relationship with them, so you can continue to create content together. The catch is that you have to pay these freelancers. Contently lets you build your own network of freelancers. It is the middleman connecting you to top talent.

The Cost

Contently is much more expensive than Scripted, but the two services are entirely different markets. Scripted is designed as a content writing service, in which you pay on a per project basis. On the other hand, Contently is a comprehensive content marketing platform, allowing you to plan, manage, and monitor all of your content marketing efforts. It’s designed to be integrated into your day-to-day operations as a company, rather than to outsource your content writing to someone else.

The exact cost of Contently will depend on your organization, and you’ll have to book a consultation to sort out the details. Larger companies can spend tens of thousands on the platform. This cost consists of not only a subscription to the platform itself, but also the cost of hiring freelancers depending on content requirements.

Pros

  • Comprehensive content marketing platform.
  • Tools to plan, monitor, and enhance content strategy.
  • Comprehensive SEO optimization tools.
  • Highly-qualified network of freelancers who are capable of much more than content writing.

Cons

  • Much more expensive than a content writing service. Designed to be integrated into your business, rather than a stand-alone service.
  • Much more hands-on. Those looking for content outsourcing would prefer Scripted.

Which Should You Choose?

If reading the above hasn’t made this clear – Contently and Scripted are very different content marketing services. Scripted is ideal if you’re looking to have content produced which supplements your business’s promotional materials. Contently is for businesses who are looking to overhaul the way they manage and organize their content marketing. Contently is much more expensive than Scripted, but offers many more tools as well. It’s difficult for us to recommend one or the other, because your preference will heavily depend on your business’s needs. You need to evaluate your business goals, and see which service better aligns to your strategy going forward. Both Scripted and Contently have impressive services which have a lot to offer different businesses, but you’ll have to decide which is best for you.

How to Become a Product Tester and Get Free Amazon Products for Review

How to Become a Product Tester

Everyone loves free stuff.

Being an Amazon product tester is one of those cool jobs you hear about, but never really know for sure whether or not it’s a real thing.  The crazy part is it’s definitely real.  There’s no hourly wage or anything, of course, but you can be compensated in the form of free products, discounts, and even commission if your approach is right.

Fortunately, there are a multitude of sites out there completely dedicated to pairing sellers in need of promotion with buyers who are happy to do such.  

You might question what the catch must be, but remember that we’re in a very digital era where buyers and sellers have had to take in-person tactics formerly known, for example, as setting up a promotional table at a festival and giving away free samples in hopes that the recipient might enjoy the product and spread the word and applying them to our newer way of encountering products.

As is the case for just about everything online these days, you just need to weed through the questionable sites and find the legitimate ones that are going to put free products at your fingertips.

Join Amazon’s Influencer Program

Have a large following on social media?  Use it to your advantage.  Amazon’s Influencer Program allows you to qualify as a product influencer based on the quantity of people you’re able to call friends and family on social media. 

It’s not rocket science to see why this program exists.  With a large following, it can already be concluded that you have the power to influence people and that you’ve already established yourself as an attractive, trust-worthy source to others.  

Amazon is interested in partnering with people such as this because your following automatically becomes their audience the moment you promote products.  Your promotion drives traffic to the marketplace, therefore increasing profits for the marketplace.  You get free products.  Your following gets items that interest them.  Everybody wins.

Enroll in VIP Power Club

Sign up for VIP Power Club and instantly get connected to sellers who are looking for buyers to obtain their products and leave an honest review.  VIP Power Club is completely free to join, which is amazing.  

What’s unique about VIP Power Club is that everything is handled via email, so there’s no need to navigate their website or install a browser extension in order to catch a good deal.  Emails are proactively sent to you weekly, and you simply reply and let them know that you’re interested in one of the products.

How to sign up for the VIP Power Club:

  • Register here.
  • Review emails with coupons for newly released Amazon products
  • Once your preferred product is received, post an honest review within 7 days

Check Out LootHoot

Another cool outlet for Amazon product testing, LootHoot allows you to snag deals for anywhere from 40 to 100% off.

Perhaps the most Amazon compliant, LootHoot prides themselves on not bending the rules to encourage or require reviews of its product testers. This lack of pressure on the buyers is admirable and maybe worth looking into it if only for that.

LootHoot reiterated that:

  • Their products are discounted and reviews are not encouraged.
  • Members cannot be penalized, rewarded, or rated for leaving or not leaving a review, nor can their accounts be suspended for not leaving one.
  • Like the Amazon Vine program, sellers cannot choice which members take advantage of their deals.
  • Actual Amazon account information is no longer requested during member sign-up, so reviews are not monitored by their site.

How to get started on LootHoot:

  • Join here for free.
  • Select your preferred Amazon product and obtain its coupon code
  • Use said code to finalize your purchase on Amazon
  • Test your received product and leave an honest review on Amazon

Sign Up for Rebate Platforms

You can also use rebate portals to obtain free or steeply discounted Amazon products and poise yourself to sellers as a dedicated reviewer.  Often, these portals will use your review likelihood to create a rating that sellers can see before choosing to work with you or not.  If you are likely to leave detailed, positive reviews for the products you obtain, sellers are that much more attracted to you.  The more the attraction, the more products you’ll acquire.

There are a multitude of rebate platforms you can join to obtain steeply discounted or free products, such as:

  • ExtremeRebate
  • Rebate Key
  • Rebaid
  • Cashbackbase

The sites vary in how they handle the transactions, but ExtremeRebate, for example, suggests you request an item you’re interested in and await approval.  It’s during this time that sellers will review your rating, which ExtremeRebate bases on your tendency to leave positive reviews historically.  If accepted, you are able to then purchase the item and then supply ExtremeRebate with your order ID to confirm purchase and request reimbursement.  

There’s not much more to it.

Buyers and sellers alike are drawn to rebate portal services.  Buyers get free products that they would usually otherwise be willing to spend money on anyway, and sellers get their products into consumer hands, traffic to their store increases, and there’s always potential for your positive review.  

Since you’re purchasing the product at full price, the product’s ranking will improve on Amazon.  On the contrary, had the seller provided you with a coupon or discount up front, their ranking would deteriorate. 

Socialize on Samurai.Social

One of the coolest new rebate platforms is Samurai.Social.  It prides itself on the concept that “everyone is a micro influencer”, and they’re right.  

You likely already have multiple social media accounts and you motivate others just by posting, whether you realize it or not.  A shared quote here, a motivational meme there… you are constantly impacting the people around you.  

Samurai.Social pairs sellers with buyers with the opportunity to not only obtain free Amazon products via rebate, but also the opportunity to do promotional campaigns on your social media accounts.  

How to get the most out of Samurai.Social:

  • Find your preferred product and apply for approval 
  • Sellers usually agree to 100% rebates
  • User-friendly extension can be used to buy the product on Amazon, among other supported vendors
  • Promote the product as agreed upon
  • Reliable escrow system protects both
  • New products are added daily, so check back often

Join Amazon’s Vine program

Amazon’s Vine program is the marketplace’s attempt to highlight honest reviewers among those who may be falsifying information in exchange for free products.  While that exchange would go against Amazon’s TOS, it’s challenging for them to crack down on all offenders.  Hence, the voices of Amazon Vine.

In this case, you can’t just snap your fingers and become a Vine member overnight.  There is no application or account to create.  In order to be invited to join the choir of Vine Voice reviewers with Amazon, you simply need to establish yourself as an honest, detailed, thoughtful reviewer.  

Create authenticity by ensuring that you are leaving detailed reviews across a multitude of products.  Focus on your niche.  For example, if you’re an interior designer, your expertise would be best lent to fabrics, home decor, etc.  With a bit of consistency, you may be invited to hang on the Vine.

Start Small with Amazon’s Associates Program

Not sure the power of your voice just yet?  Start influencing on a smaller scale by joining Amazon Associates.  Do you tend to blog as it is about products you already love?  Did you drop the name of your favorite air fryer in your last Facebook post and you’re curious who felt motivated enough by you to actually buy the same one?  

With Amazon’s Associates program, you can create a custom link for said air fryer and provide it within your post.  It’ll bring your interested friend straight to the product on the marketplace.  If an order is placed, you’ll get a small commission from the sale, and that’s it. Keep on eye on your commissions and take note as to the simple power of your voice.

Know that the Amazon Influencer program is an extension of this process, granting you your own entire Amazon URL and compiling all of your recommended products for easy access in areas where hyperlinking isn’t favored, such as within Instagram posts.

Check Out TestZon

TestZon has hundreds of products for you to choose from.  It’s ideal for spotting highly discounted or even completely free products in exchange for an honest review “if you want to”. 

Locate a product you like, get approval from the seller, and then receive and test your product.  Once a review is submitted within a certain amount of days, the seller will refund you via PayPal.

Be quick! Some of the best product freebies go fast, and sellers have caps on the amount of products they’re willing to trade for reviews.

No need for qualms about whether you’ll receive a faulty product or whether you’ll actually receive your rebate.  TestZon is rated highly trustworthy on scam meters so you can be assured it’s a legitimate transaction.

Join Other Amazon Reviewer Trader Sites

These websites allow members to create an account in order to receive free or steeply discounted items on Amazon in exchange for reviews.  These sites include Cashbackbase, AMZDiscover, Snagshout, and more.

Each site has its preferred transactional means and incentives for luring promotional buyers, but, in general, interested buyers provide their basic information including interests.  Some sites require approval in order to qualify as a reviewer trader, and not all applications will be accepted.  Some are more geared towards the seller (like AMZDiscover) but most strive to protect both parties.

Apply to Tomoson

Best for those with a large following on multiple social media channels, Tomoson connects influencers with brands that seek deeper promotion.  The coolest part about Tomoson is that, in addition to getting the promoted product for free, you’ll also be compensated for your time (sometimes +$1,000!).  

Once you achieve about 1,000 followers on one of your social media channels, it’s a great time to start applying for Tomoson campaigns.  

Be Yourself

If you have one of those MLM Instagram friends who switches products and companies at the drop of a hat but speaks to each of them as if they’re all equally amazing, you’ll understand exactly why it’s crucial to retain genuineness on social media, especially as a product tester.  Once your following can sense that you’re simply in it for the products and your own personal benefit, you will lose all credibility.  

When sellers are providing you with a free product, you are still exchanging said product for your reputation.  Ensure that you are selecting products that you can likely positively and truthfully promote to your friends and family.  

Bonus points if you can pick products where you have experience using its competitors, so your outlook is fair.  Be sure to continue to include other actual aspects of your life so that your social media feed cannot be mistaken for advertisements.  

People buy from people they like, and people are influenced by people they trust.  Your loyal following will believe in the products the same way that you do as long as you continue to show up “real”.

Also, network and continue to put yourself out there genuinely on social media.  The bigger your following grows, the less you personally know those who are getting to know you. Right now, you might have a friend on social media with a store on Amazon, and you might just be the next person they approach for product promotion.

Final Thoughts

There are a plethora of legitimate ways that you can score free Amazon products for review.

Beyond the “winning” of free items, you also benefit in general as a product tester as your influencer vibes will create trust and increase loyalty from your following, particularly when they are motivated to acquire the same products and are equally pleased with their quality.

The bigger your following, the better your opportunities for partnering with sellers for promotional campaigns.  

The more authentic and likeable you appear on social media, the larger your following will be.  So, start showing up genuinely today and get your hands on those free products tomorrow.

iWriter VS Upwork- Where Can You Find Better Freelance Writers

As it is rightly said, content is king, and this has never been more relatable than today. Every business and website needs content to tell users what they offer, enhance customer engagement, and take advantage of SEO strategies to drive traffic.

Writing business content or blogs for your website can be a tedious job. It requires a certain level of expertise and isn’t nearly as easy as you might think, which is why hiring a competent writer is so important.

What Should You Look for in a Writer?

Content for your business and website needs to be informative and free of fluff. It acts as the primary source of marketing for your company.

Visitors read your website content and immediately make an impression about the brand. That is why it is necessary to have relevant content for your business done in a sophisticated style. When hiring writers, ask yourself:

  • Do they understand your brand?
  • Do they have writing experience?
  • How knowledgeable are they in your niche?
  • Can they write original content? (You’ll be surprised how many cannot.)

You can hire a full-time or freelance writer with the required skills and good knowledge of your industry. Now, the question is, where to find these content developers? We understand that it is not easy for you to develop high-quality content for your business – but which content platform should you go to?

Several content writing service platforms are out there where you can find thousands of skilled writers and editors. This article compares two popular content writing services to give you better insight into these platforms and help you find the perfect candidate.

iWriter

iWriter.com is one of the best TextBroker alternatives. This unique content developing solution was designed by a former affiliate marketer and online business owner. 

It may not be as sophisticated as other content sites, but they offer a handful of management services for your project.

iWriter offers a simple system to find suitable writers for your projects and requires you to pay in advance to its registered bank or Paypal account.

As per many clients and writers associated with this site, some of iWriter’s web pages have technical glitches. However, it constantly updates the website to fix them.

If you are looking for regular content for your business, iWritter can serve you with decent content at an affordable price. But, when you need good quality content, this platform is not the best choice.

It’s a hit-and-miss here – you may not find unique content even from the high-end writers on this site.

Pros

  • iWritter has a lower commission rate than TextBroker, which allows you to save some money.
  • You can quickly submit your projects with detailed descriptions.

Cons

  • Writers have reported that sometimes articles disappear when they try to fetch them.
  • You need to pay a portion of the project fee in advance to prove your authenticity.
  • It takes extra time for writers to claim your project.
  • The rejection rate by clients is relatively high.
  • There is a limited description space for the writer’s profile.

Upwork

Upwork is a massive worldwide platform for all types of freelancers, not just writers.

You may find a skilled writer if you are lucky; however, the sheer number of freelancers registered on this site makes the good ones harder to find.

As this is not a dedicated content writing platform, it does not help you with anything except connecting to a freelance writer. 

You may hire a writer on Upwork and pay them at hourly or per-project rates. Upwork will charge you 2.5% on each transaction. 

As a client, you need to be practical about the pricing. You cannot expect high-quality content paying $2 to $5 per hour. If you offer too little for a project, it attracts only low-end writers and even spambots.

Pros

  • Compared to the exclusive content services, the processing fee is low.
  • You can hire a good writer at an affordable rate, but it can take weeks to find one.
  • You can contact the writers directly. 

Cons

  • Finding a suitable candidate on this site may be a tedious job.
  • Even if you hire the highest bidder, you cannot be sure the candidate is competent.
  • You have to monitor and manage the project yourself or hire another freelancer.
